Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT reliable?

Based on MOT data from 5,063 vehicles, the 2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT has a first-time MOT pass rate of 95.1%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT is a genuinely reliable car, with a 92.8% first-time MOT pass rate that sits well clear of the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.1%. This hybrid is built to last, and the numbers prove it.

At 19,000 miles median mileage, these cars are still young and lightly used, which explains why they average only 0.1 failures per vehicle and just 0.6 advisories. If you're buying one, check the service history carefully and expect minimal wear surprises for the first few years, but do budget for eventual CVT fluid maintenance as these transmissions are fussy about it.

The 2022 Toyota Yaris Icon HEV CVT passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95.1% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
